Staying for more than six months is usually one of the main measures to determine if one is resident and should pay taxes in the country, so there is at least a very good reason (although I don't know how much this applies to the USA specifically).
- jacobolus 7y agoAnyone who earns income working in the USA has to pay US income and payroll taxes.

- taejo 7y agoAny country can try to extract any tax from anyone it likes, and in general the US does.
